If you try using the older LiveCD you originally started with, does this problem still happen? I am using a testing kernel so it could be related to that.

Right now I'm using the Aug-11 LiveCD. The only other issue I've had, other then the one in the previous thread, is that during bootstrap, the system did not find /dev/stderr several times. I'm content with stoping and starting emerge as needed for this system. I was more interested in the system I'm going to start building this evening, if it would be better to use this latest CD, or use the Aug-11 that I've already burned to disk.
